Emerging pollutants (EPs) emerged as a group of new compounds whose presence in the
environment has been widely detected in Mexico. In this country, different concentrations of …

Filter-feeder organisms such as oyster and mussels are exposed to particles like
microplastics (MPs). Although widely used to monitor MPs contamination, little is known …

The hard tissues of animals, such as skeletons and teeth, are constructed by a biologically
controlled process called biomineralization. In invertebrate animals, biominerals are …

Microplastics (MPs) accumulation in rocky shore organisms has limited knowledge. This
study investigated MPs accumulation in filter-feeding oysters, herbivorous limpets and …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitously found in environmental matrices, particularly affecting
aquatic systems. While several marine species have been widely used to assess MP …

The contamination of mangroves by anthropogenic litter has increased in recent decades.
Notably, Brazil occupies a prominent status within Latin America, boasting the second …

Microplastics (MPs) global ubiquitously affects particularly coastal regions under significant
anthropogenic pressures, where there are limited monitoring efforts. Bivalves are valuable …

Anthropogenic litter (AL) distribution was assessed on beaches presenting different levels of
urban occupation at Santos Estuarine System. Plastics and cigarette butts were the items …

Morphological, structural and compositional alterations in shells of molluscs have been
proposed as putative biomarkers of chemical contamination in coastal zones. Despite this …

Alterations in mollusc shells have been proposed contamination biomarkers. We used
geometric morphometrics analyses associated with analytical determinations of …
